    I found this podcast during the time that my vision was going away. I was floundering, wondering how I was going to handle my work as a Marketing Coordinator and a Mom, and taking care of my Mom who had Alzheimer's Disease. Not only did I learn about apps and technology that turned out to be a lifesaver, their humbleness toward relating their own vision journeys made me feel supported and not alone. I had some vision 20/200-400 but then I lost the rest in "stages". It was extremely terrifyin... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Midnight Kitkat & The Mac Surprise
Q: What is your take on the new Mac Mini and Mac Studio lineups?
We advise caution about buying immediately; consider refurbished or previous-generation Macs to avoid overpaying and to ride out supply constraints until real-world performance is understood.
Apple’s September Surprises & Meta’s $18B Teen Safety Settlement
Q: If you're a parent listening to this today, does anything that you've talked about today actually make our children safer?
Will argues that the changes are a start and that platforms are being pushed to implement more protective measures, though practicality and uniform protection across regions remain complex; parental controls and time limits are central outcomes, with ongoing debate about their effectiveness.
Apple’s September Surprises & Meta’s $18B Teen Safety Settlement
Q: So what has actually been bought here? And does any of it change what happens on your phone?
Will Guyatt explains that the settlement is a structured agreement over 10 years with substantial fines but without admission of guilt, and that the changes primarily affect teen safety features and parental controls on the platforms, not a sweeping admission of wrongdoing by Meta.
Blind Developer Creates Seamless Windows on Mac Experience
Q: Why build AVM instead of sticking with existing virtualization options?
Existing tools required fiddling and often caused users to lose track of whether they were in Windows or Mac; AVM was designed to be clearly in Windows when in use, with robust keyboard shortcuts and VoiceOver support to maintain a predictable workflow.
Blind Developer Creates Seamless Windows on Mac Experience
Q: What does AVM stand for and what does it do?
AVM stands for Accessible Virtual Machine, and it allows users to run an ARM-based version of Windows on Apple Silicon Macs with a focus on accessible navigation and reliable Windows/Mac state switching.
